This paper looks into perceptions and images that India and China have constructed over the span of civilizational, colonial and post-colonial periods by analyzing some of the socio-cultural, politico-economic and civilizational undercurrents. It argues that not having a correct understanding of these has resulted in misunderstandings and misperceptions. It also argues that the equilibrium that existed between India and China during the last three decades has been lost due to the balance of power favoring China; the Galwan military standoff that ended up in fatalities on both sides was just one of the manifestations of this. It concludes that both need to find a new equilibrium, which may take longer than the expected, however, policy recalibration through pragmatic constructivism could be a good beginning
